1. Introduction
TORTUGA APPS (SMC-PRIVATE) LIMITED (“we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how the All PDF Reader app (“the App”) manages user data and utilizes device permissions.
The App is a utility tool designed to read and manage PDF files locally on your device. It does not contain advertisements or analytics, and it functions primarily offline, with the sole exception being to load this Privacy Policy page when specifically requested by the user.
2. Information We Collect
a. User-Provided Data
The App processes files selected by the user for reading. The content of these files (PDFs) and user interactions within the documents (like scrolling or page navigation) are processed locally on your device and are never sent to our servers or any third party. We do not access or collect the content of your PDF files.
b. Automatically Collected Data
The App does not automatically collect personal or device data. It contains no analytics or advertising SDKs.
3. Permissions Used in the App
| Permission Name | Reason |
| Read External Storage | Required to allow the user to select and open PDF files from their device’s storage (used for devices running Android 12 and older). |
| Manage External Storage | Required for the App to access and manage (view, open, organize) all PDF files on the device, as is necessary for a comprehensive file reader application. |
🛈 Note: All file management and reading operations are conducted locally on your device. The App does not send or receive any file or personal data over the internet.
4. Third-Party SDKs & Families Policy Compliance
The App utilizes standard Android support libraries and a PDF viewing library. These SDKs are used for app functionality and interface design:

The App does not collect, store, or transmit personal data or the content of your documents.
- All processing of PDF files and user interaction is done on the device.
- The App follows industry best practices for secure coding and local data handling.
6. Children’s Privacy
This App is suitable for users of all ages and is not specifically directed toward children under 13. Given that the App does not collect, store, or share any personal data from any user, it inherently maintains a high standard of children’s privacy.
